2008 Domaine Sorin Côtes de Provence Rosé Terra Amata - France, Provence, Côtes de Provence (4/24/2009)
Paired with tonight’s BLAT dinner-- bacon, butter lettuce, avocado, tomato, and aioli on toasted sourdough.
A blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, although I don’t know the proportions for this vintage. Surprisingly serious rosé for ten bucks. Beautiful light pink with a slight peachy cast. Strongly mineral-driven with a very summery bouquet rounded out by ocean breeze, strawberry, and tangerine. Dry on the palate, with flavors that echo the nose. Light bodied, juicy, balanced, and gulpable. Hard to beat for $9.99.
